Mr de Bono said outside court that the trust had accepted liability, but disputed whether the late diagnosis had caused all the boy's disabilities.

Approving the settlement, Judge Alan Saggerson said: "It only remains for me to wish the claimant and his family all the best for the future."

Tracy Taylor, NUH Chief Executive, said: “On behalf of the Trust, I sincerely apologise for the failings in our care that resulted in adverse outcomes for their son. I am mindful that no words or amount of money can undo the harm and distress that the family have experienced as a result of this case.”
